Great to recall those old SoCal places. Went to the Boom a lot, usually after dinner at Mark’s or Shame on the Moon. Sundays at West Street beach. When I first got out of college, I lived in Belmont Shore, so I could walk to Ripples. Also, Garden Grove once had about 5 bars, believe it or not. DOC West and Rumor Hazzit were fun, although the GG police, we called it Garbage Grove, were often hassling patrons at both. I remember a cute twink in black leather being arrested at Rumor Hazzit. I have no idea what for. There also used to be hustlers on Garden Grove Boulevard, near the adult book store near the old Campus gay bar. All gone now.
